And I further wonder how many American moms might be unaware that firearms courses designed specifically for ladies are available at a nominal charge in most any American community ?

I'll be taking one this fall to get my CCP.

A month or so ago my 9yo came flying into the house screaming about a raccoon in the barn, where her cats live. I went out with her and attempted to retrieve the .22 we keep in the furnace room out back.........it wasn't there. I was not happy, and my husband was out of town, which is why she came for mommy not daddy. One of the neighborhood toms we feed was chasing the 'coon out of the barn when we got in there.

I was real comfortable with that .22, but when I called my husband he told me it wasn't in the furnace room because it needed repair. He dealt with the 'coon withthe 12guage on Friday when he got home, but by then it had already killed 2 of the new kittens. I'm now as comfortable with the 12guage as I am with the .22 (which has since been repaired)
